When was the moment that you decided you were sticking around for the craziness of Jiu Jitsu?
For me it was the day after an open mat and I was driving to work thinking about not being able to escape side control the day before. I was so caught up in replaying some of my rolls and wondering what should I have done that I went through a red light! This was the moment I knew I was in it for the long haul.
What about you?
